Owing to the increase in supply and
light demand, the butter market has taken
quite n tumble. Eggs are very quiet, and
have also slightly fallen, owing to warmer
weather. Good poultry is scarce with
prices the same. The demand for apples
has improved.
The demand for green stuff has become
better and sales will he larger IS prices
settle lower. Good stock is sold
up pretty close to the supply, but
ordinary stuff hangs on and is slow selling.
The prices quoted below are wholesale fig
ureS and all green stuff Is home raised, ex-
cept radiSheS, cucumbers, cabbage and
new potatoes. The quotations are changed
on Tuesdays and Fridays. but the market
is liable to fluctuations between those

truth is, while they all have pleasant and
good tempered faces, they are without
claims to beauty, and should not have
recognized them in the lovely screen pic
lures
On tiny inlaid liable, in finely
wrought gilt frame with a shutter front to
conceal its contents, was a wonderfully
painted miniature Of the Princess OF Wales
rs Mary Queen of Scots, whose beauty. ro-
mantle life and tragic ending has made her
one of the lavOrite historical studies of the
Princess. In this portrait Her Royal
Highness is at her best; the peculiar Golf,
the gorgia and high cOllarettee with its
close lattice work of pearls and pulled
sleeves being most becoming. Whether ii
IL the costume alone, or aided by some
what mOurnful expression, il requires no
great stretch Of fancy to recognize q GER
tain likeness between the woman who
would like to have been, and the woman
who, if she lives, will be, Queen of Eng
land.
There are no pictures whatever on the
drawing room walls, and but one or two
fancy sketches on easels In one corner
stand a grand piano with plush cover
trimmed with ball fringe. There are sew
eral sofas of brOcade or plush, with hand
knitted silk. or embroidered rugs thrown
over them, and good fat cushions, which,
indeed, are feature in every room in the
Hall. The floor is OF highly polished oak,
covered at intervals with fine Indian rugs,
aud the hangings are of soft, rich chenille
brOcade in neutral tints lOOped with very
massive cords and tassels.
Out of the drawing-rOom opens the
breakfast-rOOm of the Prince and Princess,
guest is never invited to join in the first
meal Of the day, and the only one for
which the royal family reserve the right
of perfect privacy. This apartment has
rather the air OF cOSy sitting-TOOm. 1t is
well lighted with n large bay window,
with square corners, commanding view
of the green sweeping lawn, some fine old
trees, and the graceful figures Of the brown
and snOw-white deer rs they browse in the
park beyond.
In the window, resting upon an ebony
easel, aud in an ebony frame, is large
and excellent photograph of the late Duke
OF Albany. Nearly opposite to it, and
upon u companion easel, is portrait in
crayOn that has a peculiar interest now,
for it is faithful likeness of the Duchess
of Cumberland, the younger sister of the
Princess of Wales. This picture was taken
about the time of the Princess Thyra's
marriage and shows her to have been a
woman of more than common beauty.
Her face is rOunder, her eyes larger, than
the Princess Alexandra's, and the mouth
sensitive and sud in its curves. Both sis
tiers have the same shapely eyebrows and
straight foreheads, while the pOise of the
head is identical. In her picture, the
Duchess is clad in a simple dark dress,
high ut the throat, and her hair, which is
worn in short curly locks in front, is
dressed close and high upon her head.

THE DRAWING EoOM.

The first apartment | was shown into
was the drawing room, which WAS ot good
height and size and it's colorlng and style,
suggestive OF the French. The ceiling
was lightly tre<COed and the walls panel
led alternately in delicate pink and blue,
divided by creamy mOuldingS touched
with gold. Here and there mirror was
let in, which reflected the light, not only
from the great windows which came down
To the floor. hut from u small bow shaped
conservatory opening directly into it.
This was filed with tall branching ferns,
huge pots of maiden hair. leaty palms and
luNurIant vines arranged in the form Of an
lmphithcatre, atiOrding most effective
background for the Bathing Girls OF
Madame Jerichau, a lite-size group OF love
" figures in white marble. The massive
pedestal of this was entirely concealed by
bank OF pure rose colored azaleaS, ut the
loot OF which nestled an eNquiSltcly carved
marble swan OF natural size. The vivid
md beautiful coloring OF this arrangement
spoiled the eye for the furnishing of the
lrawing room.
Covers of white cretOnnc with punches
If big pink roses concealed the furniture,
nut Sarah removed them to show me up
HOlStcry of pale blue brOcaded with threads
Of cold and dark red. Other pieces were
Of pearl satin wrought with pink and sill
yer. There We're many odd and easy
chairs. with velvet backs and seats hand
embroidered. some by the women OF the
Roval family. and noticed a pleasing in
nOyation, which let us pray may cross the
water; whatever there was about the
chairs, in the shape of anti-macaSSar, ScartS
or ornamental bows, was upholstered IN
with the covering. The effect was good,
and think of the reliet to the mind.
In the very centre of the drawing room
stood a mound Of moss covered rocks,
clumps Of ferns, and red roses IN bloom.
From this rose the marble figure OF Venus
bliudfolded by Love. The name OF the
artist was concealed by the plants, but the
work was both bold and fine. The beauu-
rul pOddess and miSchieyOuS cupid were
aooin repeated in the broad gilt-tramed
mirror over the carved mantel and which
was thanked by handsome gold candeiahra.
On the mantel shelf We're several small
pieceS of Dresden china and large Indian
fan OF peacOck's eyes.
One large plneled mirror, that ran from
the floor 10 the height OF doorway, was
arranged with very novel effect. over ITS
entire face were crossed slender iillgree glll
shelves about three inches broad and hard
" noticeable. They supported, however
innumerable exquisitely modelled figures
in china. about eight inches tall, and OF 4
most delicious cream, pink or blue tlntS
These are sheperdsand sheperdeSSeS, milk,
maids and ballet dancers, cheruhS and
columbines. They were not crowded, bu'
so skillfully arranged that they appeared Il
form a sort of lace work of fairy figures
which reflected in the glass strengthened
the impression that they were only hung
between you and another room.
On the back OF dark red screen hung
in oval gilt frames, three autotypes in red
the idealized portraits of the young Prin'
cess, Victoria, Louise and Maud. The

Information WAS received in the
city Las, night Of the existence near
here of one of those freaks of nature
tlu' perhaps once in century pre-
sen,- itself to the wonder and admira.
Won of mankind. IT seem, that sew
era weeks ago q gentleman who had
but few DAYS before arrived in this
city had HE attention called by his
son, TO a very precociou- child, whose
parents resided short distance from
the city. Deciding from the descrip-
ton given by his son that the child
WAS one OF those p-eCOciOus children
tnat have from time to time made "a
Barnum or FOrcpaugh rich, he AT
once began investigating the case and
found that he had indeed found pc
culiar popularity. The child, which
Is little negro IL about two years
old. In tact II Is sa Il to have replied
when RsRcu its age. 81 was two years
old last Friday" Ii can sing "Amaz-
inc Grace, how sweet the soundn and
several other hymns correctly all the
way through aud this without any
extensive practice but within little
while after having heard some one
else ing it. In fact 1t seems to be q
second edition in "a vocal way of
blind Tom, for the child IL actually
blind ana cannot see at oil. And yet
aud this Is one of its pcculiarities 1t
initiates things that it would seem it
were impossible tor it to know
uuless 1t had seen them. For
instance: Some time ago il
was taken to church and
while there the church bell was rung.
After It's return home it lay on it's
mothers breast and called ont "ding,
ding, ding, and while this was natu.
raj. yet II went farther, aud though
never having seen anyone in its llt5,
yet initiated the motion Of the bell
ringer in pulling the rope. The most
wonderful o. the performances of this
little prodigy, however, is that 1t is
able to repeat the multiplication
table perfectly correctly from begin
ming to end. The cmld's name could
not be learned, but II was asCertained
that Mr.. Henry Warren, Of this
county, together with the gentleman
whose son first discovered the prodi
